DOAJ reaches new milestones:
We have just completed the transition to a new environment and launched
a new platform with integrated functionality for sharing, exporting and
enhanced search/browse functionality: at the article level, search
results can be filtered by language and publication year and by license
and publication fee; at the journal level, you can filter by subject, by
country, by license and by publication fees. These facets will be
developed further in the months to come. (Read more about our
enhancements on our home page: www.doaj.org <http://www.doaj.org>.)
We are also very proud to announce that the DOAJ has reached two
important milestones:
1. For the first time since launch in 2003, more than 50% of the
journals are providing metadata at article level.We will continue to
work with the 2000+ publishers to increase this figure.
2. More than 1 million articles are now searchable in DOAJ which means
more than 1 million article-level metadata entriesare available for
harvesting!We expect this figure to increase significantly in the
months to come.
We continue to work with key stakeholders to agree on and implement new,
tighter criteria for the inclusion of journals in the DOAJ: critieria
that will address issues of quality and openness, as well as other kinds
of information about the journals.
We are very excited about these developments and we are grateful for the
continued support from the community. We always need more support so we
can continue to provide a better service, so please consider
